English with Dane

CLASSES
I have a list of stuff that I keep adding to, of words, expressions, phrases, etc that I want to talk about on the show. This episode is me going through this list and telling you all about how to use them, the nuances behind each one, and giving you ways in which you can incorporate them into your day-to-day with practical examples.

GROUP SESSIONS
I LOVE THIS EPISODE. It's really strange to hear myself like this. This was one of the first every episodes of English with Dane and you can definitely tell. I was listening to old episodes, to see if I noticed much of a difference, and wow. It feels like a totally different person. This episode talks about stuff that we don't really consider in our day-to-day but that I find fascinating. I hope you enjoy it, and if you haven't heard early episodes of the podcast I recommend that you do. It had a different vibe. Not better or worse, just different. Let me know what you think.

TRANSCRIPT (follow along while you listen)
A fun, varied little mix. We're starting off with the first Human vs Machine chess duel (1996), followed by the story of a family that tried to scam a restaurant in Sydney by putting armpit hair in their food, and then we're finishing off with questions from listeners who are understandably looking for advice. A bunch of great vocabulary and expressions in this one, too.

TRANSCRIPT
Get ready to learn a bunch of great vocabulary while analysing the importance of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime show. We're going to read an article that features not only a review, but also provides the cultural context necessary to really grasp what we watched.

TRANSCRIPT
What if there was a tool that could help your kids improve their English in a way they ACTUALLY like, while also allowing you the chance to connect with them? What if this tool also helped their critical thinking, problem solving and spatial-motor skills?
What if I told you that this tool was video games?
Before you dismiss this as a gimmick (a flashy or clever trick) let me try to remove the stigma some of us have about video games, and let me make my case for it being a really helpful and underrated tool for language learning, among other things (entre otras cosas).
